THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RUGGARD.

The Ruggard Renewable Dehumidifier protects your lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile electronics, and other valuable accessories from excessive moisture. Using the portable dehumidifier inside a small sealed case, you can reduce the interior relative humidity to help prevent fungus and corrosion from damaging your gear.

PRECAUTIONS

• Please read and follow these instructions, and keep this manual in a safe place.
• Keep this product away from children under 3 years old, as the small parts can pose a choking hazard.
• Keep this product away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
• Do not drop or expose the dehumidifier to strong shocks.
• All images are for illustrative purposes only.

OVERVIEW

1. Retractable outlet prongs: Use these to plug the dehumidifier into a power outlet. The prongs retract to protect against accidental damage.

2. Power LED: Shows that the dehumidifier is receiving power.

Warning! When the dehumidifier is plugged into an outlet for charging, the unit can become hot to the touch. Charging can last between three to five hours or until the gels turn blue.

1. Gel status display: Shows the current moisture saturation levels of the gels. Blue for low saturation and pink for high saturation. The color guide below the window lets you know when the device needs to be recharged, and when it's ready for use.

After charging the gels (blue color), let the unit cool down for 20 to 30 minutes before use. Then, place the dehumidifier inside the Portable Dry Case along with the equipment you want to keep dry.
